Zombies, anyone?

I've been dubious about seeing 28 Weeks Later, but this review may have just sold me on it:

Zombie Mon Amour: I have an intimidating amount of work to get done over the next 12-24 hours, so I'll be brief: 28 Weeks Later is one of the best movies I've ever seen, and certainly the best I've seen in a long while. And believe it or not, allusions to the Green Zone and all, the movie is surprisingly (and, to be sure, subliminally pro-American). For those of you with an interest in pretty people (you know who you are, and it's not my place to judge), both Catherine McCormack and Imogen Poots are as beautiful as they are talented. Jeremy Renner is an obscurish character actor who does incredibly well. Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo is so awesome that I clearly now have to see everything else he's done.

Also, the movie stars Stringer Bell as the calm, deliberate voice of American authority. How can you go wrong?

Best comment in response:
Is there a zombie Omar in the film that eventually takes him out? Because that would be the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Think I'll wait for video as I don't think it'll particularly suffer for being on the small screen, but now I do definitely want to see it. Of course I also still want to see "Smokin' Aces" and "The Host"...

Falwell pisses God off for the last time

Well he's dead, can't say I'm all torn up about it.

For a lovely walk down Falwell Memory Lane:

Falwell on Brown v. Board of Education: “If Chief Justice Warren and his associates had known God’s word and had desired to do the Lord’s will, I am quite confident that the 1954 decision would never have been made…. The facilities should be separate. When God has drawn a line of distinction, we should not attempt to cross that line.”

September 2001: Falwell blames Americans for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. “The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the Pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say, ‘You helped this happen.’”

February 2007: Falwell describes global warming as a conspiracy orchestrated by Satan, liberals, and The Weather Channel.

All I can say is he'd better hope God is as big a prick as he seems to think he was.
